==POWERED SURGICAL STAPLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023957 titled 'POWERED SURGICAL STAPLER

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a surgical instrument that consists of a handle, a motor, and a shaft. The handle and/or the shaft define a longitudinal axis. The instrument also includes a fastener cartridge with multiple removable fasteners, an anvil to deform the fasteners, a closure drive to move the anvil towards and away from the fastener cartridge, and a firing drive to deploy the fasteners. The instrument further includes a transmission with two operating configurations: one connecting the motor to the closure drive and another connecting the motor to the firing drive.

* The surgical instrument has a handle, motor, and shaft.
* It includes a fastener cartridge with multiple removable fasteners.
* An anvil is used to deform the fasteners.
* A closure drive moves the anvil towards and away from the fastener cartridge.
* A firing drive deploys the fasteners.
* The instrument has a transmission with two operating configurations: one connecting the motor to the closure drive and another connecting the motor to the firing drive.

Potential Applications:
* This surgical instrument can be used in various surgical procedures that require fastening or closure of tissues or structures.
* It can be used in laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgeries where precise and controlled deployment of fasteners is necessary.
* The instrument can be utilized in both open and closed surgical settings.

Problems Solved:
* The surgical instrument provides a more efficient and precise method for fastening tissues or structures during surgery.
* It eliminates the need for manual fastening, reducing the risk of human error and improving the overall speed and accuracy of the procedure.
* The instrument allows for easier access to hard-to-reach areas, enabling surgeons to perform complex surgeries with greater ease.

Benefits:
* The use of this surgical instrument can lead to reduced surgical time, as it automates the process of fastening tissues or structures.
* It provides consistent and reliable results, minimizing the risk of complications or post-operative issues.
* The instrument's ability to deploy fasteners in a controlled manner enhances the safety and effectiveness of surgical procedures.
* It offers versatility by allowing the surgeon to choose between different operating configurations based on the specific requirements of the procedure.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a surgical instrument can comprise a handle, a motor, and a shaft extending from the handle. the handle and/or the shaft can define a longitudinal axis. the surgical instrument can further comprise a fastener cartridge comprising a plurality of fasteners removably stored therein, an anvil configured to deform the fasteners, a closure drive configured to move the anvil toward and away from the fastener cartridge which is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, and a firing drive configured to deploy the fasteners from the fastener cartridge which is rotatable about the longitudinal axis. the surgical instrument can further comprise a transmission comprising a first operating configuration which connects the motor to the closure drive and a second operating configuration which connects the motor to the firing drive.
